Rating:  Summary: good read Review: As usual, this is another good one by EJD. He has yet to let me down. The read is easy. I finished this book in two days. The characters and plots are binding. The only aspect of the book that I did not like is the change in characters and bulk of information provided for one character in particular (Inda). At first, EJD provides short introductions about his characters, which is good. Then he goes in to detail about each, equally good. Then, contrary to what you may think, he provides a lot of detail about Inda, and not as much for the others. This is surprising when reading the book because he doesn't initially portray Inda as his protagonist. In hindsight, perhaps he used her to try to tie in all of the other characters. However, he should have wrote a short introduction about her like he did with the others at the beginning of the book instead of waiting to the middle of the book to introduce her to the reader. Other than that, the book is wonderful. I look forward to reading EJD's latest. Enjoy!
Rating:  Summary: RUN, do not walk, to your nearest bookstore to get this gem! Review: I cannot say loud enough how much I enjoyed the debut novel Sister Sister by the fantastic new author Eric Jerome Dickey. The first time I read this book (in December of 1996) I could not put it down and finished it in one day. I'm currently reading it for the second time to get another dose of my girls Valerie, Inda, and Chiquita and their realistic, exciting, and hilarious lives and loves. If you haven't read this book yet, all I got to say is: What are you waiting on??? You won't be disappointed and you will be thoroughly entertained! P.S. Scratch my booty!
Rating:  Summary: Sister Sister Review: I thought that the book Sister,Sister was a very good book. I think the Dickey captured the things that women go through in life. I mean the way he puts Valerie in the position about her marriage and her so called friend is great.This is a great book. I see why it was a best-seller
Rating:  Summary: Sister, Sister - Real Women Review: I thought the book was enjoyable but it wasn't quite as gripping as I tend to like a good book to be when I'm reading. I need it to hold my interest. The girl's reactions to some of the things that occurred were not always ideal but there was realism overall when things went down. The story did have me laughing in parts but I thought the story fell sort of flat for the ending. I give four stars because it's still worth the read for EJD fans.
Rating:  Summary: AIGHT Review: IT WAS JUST AIGHT WASN'T ANYTHING WORTH TALKING ABOUT. GREAT ENDING, BUT THE BOOK WASNT THAT INTERSTING TO ME. MIGHT TO YOU.
Rating:  Summary: Troubled Love Lives Review: Many people write stories about women who are troubled or in a bad relationship. Women are the one's who usually write these books. For a man to share what he thinks how women act is wonderful. This book that E.J.D. wrote, made me feel like he knew what he was talking about. This book talked the real deal. Some books don't have the quality that E.J.D. have in his books. It makes you feel that you are in his book. It made me think about good times and bad. This book is hilarious. The things that he thought of for this book, I never would have done. This book does give you some outrageous ideas. E.J.D. wrote about three women who are having man trouble. Valerie, whose husband doesn't appreciate her, is the sister of Inda. Inda, Linda without the L, is divorced and looking for a man. Chiquita, whose boyfriend is cheating on her, is a flight attendant. Between these three ladies there are many surprises. E.J.D. has a great imagination. His imagination is so good; I would've thought a woman wrote this. When I read about Valerie, I felt so sorry for her. For her man to treat her like that and call her names, I wanted to beat him up. This girl has spent over six years of her life to a waste of a broke down jock. She did not deserve the grief this man was giving her. She was cooking, cleaning, washing his dirty draws and he was not even appreciating her. I was so happy when she finally hooked up with Daniel. He made me feel good inside. Daniel is "Mr. Do Right". Inda is Valerie's oldest sister. Inda had troubles with her husband and got a divorce. She is a feisty sister. Her personality is strong and wild. After her divorce with her husband she met Raymond. He is the man she fell in love with. He's soon going to be the man with no life, you have to read it to find out why? Inda loves her sister Valerie very much. Chiquita character was very good as well. She is a flight attendant, who visits her boyfriend from time to time. I can't tell you who her boyfriend is, but you will find out. Chiquita ended up breaking up with her man and started talking to Valerie and Inda's brother Brown. There is a connection between Inda and Chiquita. They recently became good friends. They were by each other side when they broke up with their boyfriends (ha, ha, ha). This book is beyond my expectations. Family and friends told me this book was good. And they weren't lying. This book makes you use your imagination to the fullest. I believe E.J.D. views are about trouble love lives are very real. It is a shame that some men act like they do. They must feel that they want get caught or pay for their consequences. E.J.D. shared with us the consequences these men had in his book. Especially Walter. Walter may have had it worse than anybody. All the women did something bad to their man, but Valerie set it off.
Rating:  Summary: Hilarious and heart-warming! Review: Sister, Sister was the most amusing, surprising, and heart-warming story I've read. I laughed and cheered from beginning to end and thoroughly enjoyed the life-like characters created by Mr. Dickey. (He must have wonderfully honest female friends or is truly sensitive himself or both to create such a natural drama on paper). The female and male characters were so real. The women were strong (or became strong) and soft without the cockiness of Amazons. The men even seem sincere and honest, even the "pie dog" who was honestly proud to be a dog. Anyway... After the excitement, Mr. Dickey creatively ends the story on a heart-warming note. He reminds readers of the bonds that strengthen our families and friendships. EXCELLENT READ!
Rating:  Summary: Very nice! Review: This book started off slow so the first time i started to read it I put it down. After a few months and nothing else to read, I decided to try again. I'm glad i did becuse it turned out to be a really good book. I love the way EJD bring back characters from his other books and how the three main characters' lives in this book tie together.
Rating:  Summary: The Perfect Book for Sisters Everywhere Review: This book was so funny and very true to life. Eric Jerome Dickey does it again with this one. It has real like situations with decisions that a lot of us Sisters have made. This time, he shows what those decisions look like from the outside. I became so engrossed in this book that I read it in one day. I couldn't put it down! It had a lot of flavor and it's very easy to relate to. You can see yourself or someone you know in all of the characters. A wonderful book for a teen or a young woman who may need to see how their choices affect others.
Rating:  Summary: I like this one.... Review: This was a good book. I'm not a fan and by that I mean I do not own ALL of his books and the ones I do own have been hit or miss for me, but this one for me was very good. Some parts will make you wonder how could someone be so stupid but the stupid things in this book are okay because there is a reason why people make a particular choice and as for one character in particular I'm glad he did not have that person hook up with her brother and live happly ever after because her character clearly needed some time to be able to accept was he was willing to offer her. So I say good job for not being predictable....Buy this you won't be disappointed.
